Many have heard of a directional antenna that you have to manually rotate toward an operator base station. Many have also heard of systems in which you can transform 3G, 4G and 5G to a WiFi hotspot. MiWire took these components, and made it intelligent. We invented an auto-rotating, directional antenna with a built-in modem and advanced software algorithm.
And how does this differentiate to standard options? With the auto-rotating directional antenna we avoid users needing to be experts to find the best operator base station and manually point the antenna towards it. With the built-in modem, we avoid signal loss in cables. And with the advanced software algorithm we made our RouDem intelligent: it scans and memorizes the network infrastructure, so when changes in the network are made, it automatically connects to another base station.
We hold three different patents on this invention, and it ensures that people living and working at the edge of the mobile network with no alternatives to gain internet access, do not have to suffer from slow data speed.
MiWire is our company name, and it also became our first brand. The MiWire brand holds our land-based solutions, which was our first product line and mainly fixed installations. Our SeaWire brand was then developed from the land-based solutions. First, we needed to improve the RouDem to a IPX6 rating for it to withstand the environment of the sea. We further developed the hardware and the software systems, thus enabling the RouDem to become more dynamic for the constant mobile use all around the world. To support this, we developed the GlobalWire data subscription, which is a subscription for a SIM-card with operators all around the world, which is ideal for a seafarer.
When we started our company, we chose the name MiWire. The name MiWire stems from the words “my” and “wire”, which refers to the symbolism of taking ownership over your connection. This was still the case when we launched our first product: the MiWire RouDem. At the time, we did not know the future and how our company expanded, so we used the same name for our land-based brand throughout every new brand launch.
You know the solutions are for you, when a fast and stable internet connection is important for your personal or professional life. When you live or work at the edge of the mobile network coverage. When you constantly have a bad internet connection, no matter how much you do to improve. MiWire offers you cost-efficient solutions that provide fast and stable internet connection - wherever you are. Simple as that.
Unfortunately, we cannot answer this question, as it has many variables. Due to the fact that we utilize the mobile network, it depends on operator coverage, base station location, line of sight etc. However, we can ensure up to 10x faster internet speed. If you write us an e-mail on info@miwire.net, we can check the possibilities of data speed.
When deciding whether you need a single unit solution or a pro solution with a two unit configuration + a control unit, you need to consider a few things. First of all, the more people who will use your internet connection, the bigger capacity is needed. The more units you have, the bigger capacity you can gain. If your internet connection can never fluctuate, for example when the RouDem needs to connect to a new base station, you need an extra unit for redundancy. Here you can insert SIM-cards from two different operators, thus gaining redundancy. Further you can also achieve redundancy by connecting fiber or satellite connection to the Pro’s control unit. In short, for medium to big corporations, it is a good idea to choose a Pro version.
Are you considering a purchase of our solutions? Then here is how you do:
You need to carefully place the micro SIM card in the RouDem’s SIM card slot. Afterwards you need to pass the cable through the mounting bracket cable gland and seal the mounting bracket on the unit. Install as high as possible. Connect the Ethernet cable from the RouDem to the power supply, and turn on the RouDem. The RouDem will then scan the network, and once it turns green, you are connected. Voila!
MiWire user interface presents an overall status of the RouDem and allows the user to configure WiFi and network related settings, see SIM card information and perform device commands. You can only access the user interface if you are connected to a MiWire related network either by WiFi or cable. Open MiWire user interface by entering the IP address of the RouDem in a web browser. Read more in the user guides found on the product sites.
There are several ways to reboot the RouDem since in some cases it is not possible to turn off the RouDem by pushing the on/off button. It is not possible to reboot the RouDem by removing the power supply because the RouDem is also battery powered.
Your solutions can be connected to external WiFi systems. The second LAN port in the RouDems power supply can be connected to routers, WiFi access points and a Switch if needed. If you have a Pro system, you need to do this from the control unit/BDU.
You can turn off the LED in the user interface.
Data allowance is an important part of a wireless device and therefore it is vital that you have enough monthly data to accommodate your needs. To help you get a handle on how much data you might need we have covered some of the common data devouring activities and how many megabytes they use. The list shows what the average data use per hour are for different online activities:
Web browsing/Social media: 20-120MB
Instant messaging: 50MB
Email: 1-100MB (depending on attachments)
Video streaming: 250 MB
Video calling: 200-300MB
The name almost says it all - the solution covers globally. Countries are bundled into groups, according to the cost. You buy monthly data bundles to your subscriptions for each of the groups. See more information in the price lists.
If you're having problems accessing mobile data via RouDem - especially if you've got a new SIM card or it is the first time you use RouDem, there could be a problem with the configuration of your internet settings. In most cases, if you have a working SIM card and an active mobile plan, these settings should be automatically sent to your RouDem by your carrier. If not, you'll need to make an adjustment to the Access Point Name (APN) in the settings to get online.

There can be many reasons why you are experiencing an unstable or slow internet connection. First you can try to reboot the RouDem and connected network equipment to see if that solves the problem.
If a reboot is not the solution to the problem, you have to dig deeper into the problem by considering these questions before reaching out to our support:
